I became emperor in the Tang Dynasty by relying on the palace fighting system

Li Zhao's snorts and laughs could be heard from all around: "Emperor, after not seeing me for just one day, you don't recognize my voice?"

After a moment, Li Zhi came back to his senses: "It's Xuanzun. Has Xuanzun been... in the palace all along?"

Li Zhao said in a gentle voice: "No! It's just a sound transmission technique! I'm still admiring the flowers in Shanglin Garden."

Her tone was cheerful and interesting, but her words were not very credible.

Li Zhi was sure that she must have been spying on him for a long time, and he even knew that Yu Dou Xuan Zun knew that he knew she had been peeping for a long time.

Because, there was no intention of covering up for herself in Yu Dou Xuan Zun's tone of voice!

Xuanzun's tone told him this clearly.

Yes, that’s right, I have been watching your “deep father-son love” from the side.

What? What can you do to me?

Li Zhi couldn't help but think of Yu Dou Xuan Zun's provocative behavior at the banquet yesterday.

If someone else dared to stir up a dispute between his two sons, Li Zhi would have cut that person into pieces long ago, but if the target of the trouble was a god...

Li Zhi, Li Zhi could only feel unhappy in secret.

Seeing Li Zhi looking depressed, Li Zhao in Shanglin Garden burst out laughing.

Li Zhao came to see Li Zhi today so that Li Zhi could focus his attention on his son and help Wu Meiniang better take power.

Li Zhao said: "However, Emperor, aren't you mortals being too reserved in your fight for the throne? You didn't even start a fight?"

Li Zhi was stunned: "What's the fight?"

Li Zhao said as a matter of course: "It's your two sons!"

Li Zhi's face turned dark, and the air pressure around him dropped to the point of freezing.

Wang An and others who were serving him wished they could disappear from the spot. Xuanzun, oh Xuanzun, you are too reckless in your words!

Brothers killing each other is a taboo in your majesty's mind. How dare you say that!

Li Zhi waved his hand and cleared away the idlers: "Wang An, take the people down!"

He wanted to talk to Yu Dou Xuan Zun alone.

Upon hearing this, the people in the hall felt as if they had been pardoned. They quickly bowed and retreated, running faster than rabbits.

Li Zhao in Shanglin Garden didn't care about it at all. Through the perspective shared by Qingluan, she saw Li Zhi's reaction.

She pretended to be regretful: "What a pity! I thought I could see them fighting each other and getting bruised and battered..."

There is an exceptionally pure innocence, cruelty, and indifference in the words of the god.

Li Zhi was originally very angry, but he suppressed his anger. Hearing this, he suddenly thought of something: "Beat him black and blue? Why did Xuanzun think that Hong'er and Xian'er would fight?"

Yudou Xuanzun Li Zhao said firmly: "Why won't they fight? This is how I got here!"

Li Zhi's eyebrows jumped, and he asked tentatively: "May I ask Xuanzun, how did the emperor of heaven ascend the throne? Is it through the patriarchal system of inheritance, or..."

Li Zhao's voice suddenly became a little excited: "Of course it's a fight!"

"When I and my sisters and brothers were born, there was no god position, and there was no distinction between big and small. So we had a fight to rank the elders."

"The Mother Goddess and the Ancestor Gods said that the winner will be the king. Whoever wins will be the boss. After the victory, they will be ranked according to the seniority and choose the throne. You can inherit whichever one you want!"

Li Zhi: “…………”

It's really... a very unexpected answer.

Those stories in Taoist books that say that the innate gods can be enthroned as emperors as soon as they are born are really hard to believe.

Is the succession law between gods so barbaric? Li Zhi was shocked.

Then, Li Zhao said with disdain: "It's not like you in the mortal world, fighting each other, smiling in public but stabbing each other in the back. It's not real at all!"

Her next words were full of appreciation: "But your father is interesting. He just picked up the knife and chopped, and took the door to the position. He is really a straightforward person!"

Li Zhi once again: "…………"

Li Zhi didn't want to talk to a weird god like Yudou Xuanzun. He pressed his forehead and said, "Then I thank Xuanzun for praising my father. But, Xuanzun, can I ask Xuanzun to promise me one thing?"

Li Zhao asked with great interest: "Oh? What do you want me to promise you?"

Li Zhi said in a deep voice: "I know that the heaven is different from the mortal world, and there are no such trivial fights, but Xuanzun has an extraordinary status in our Tang Dynasty, and any small action of his can cause a storm."

"I'm sorry to offend Xuanzun here. In terms of blood relationship, Hong'er and Xian'er are also Xuanzun's brothers in this life. I really don't want to see them killing each other."

"I wonder if Xuanzun would refrain from provoking disputes between them in the future, as he did at the banquet yesterday?"

Li Zhi suddenly became serious, stood up and bowed in the direction where Li Zhao's voice came from:

"Even if Xuanzun stirs up a dispute between them, they won't really fight each other black and blue. Xuanzun, doing this will not bring you joy."

"Please, Xuanzun, please grant my wish for the Queen's sake."

The hall was quiet for a while.

After a while, Li Zhao's voice rang out again. She hummed softly, "Alright, alright! Anyway, even if I torture you, you won't fight with real weapons. It's not fun."

"I'm leaving!"

The invisible Qingluan left the hall, and Li Zhi, who had received the promise, breathed a sigh of relief.

Very good, Yudou Xuanzun will not sow discord among his children for the time being.

Li Zhi was not sure whether Yudou Xuanzun would keep his promise. After all, the other party was a god who did whatever he wanted.

Sadly, he had no way to stop a god from targeting his sons, other than making the other party promise not to pick on his sons again.

How sad! In front of the gods, the emperor's dignity is as fragile as a piece of thin paper, and the gods can crush the emperor's dignity with just a few words.

In Lianbi Hall, Li Zhi sat back on the couch and laughed bitterly.

As for Qingluan, she flew out of the imperial city and came to the residence of General Li Ji.

General Li Ji was born in the Sui Dynasty. He is now over 70 years old, but he is still in good health and has the same charm as before.

When Qingluan went there, the old man was still shirtless, waving a lance and chopping scarecrows in the parade ground.

The big spear in his hand leaped and flew like a dragon. Wherever he passed, the scarecrows were blown to pieces. The air was full of flying grass debris, which covered Qingluan's face.

Qingluan stopped on a big tree outside the training ground: "Zhao Zhao, I'm here."

In Shanglin Garden, Li Zhao was walking among the flowers. She picked a branch of red-gold daylily.

Through the shared perspective, she saw the sturdy body of old man Li Ji and couldn't help but sighed: "Tsk tsk! Look at the old man's physique, even special forces can't compare to him!"

"But at your age, it's easy to get sick if you still exercise outside in the cold wind," Li Zhao sighed.

"Qingluan, open the Palace Fighting System Mall and select the props that can make people fake illness."

Qing Luan followed his instructions and opened the system mall, then said in a babble: "Obviously! Are you going to drug Li Ji and fake the illusion that he is terminally ill, then come out to save him, gain his loyalty, and take advantage of the opportunity to control some of the military power?"

Li Zhao sniffed the scent of daylilies and rolled his eyes in his heart: "What are you thinking! General Li Ji is loyal to the Tang Dynasty and Li Zhi. How could he be moved by a mere favor of saving his life and serve under my command and let me command him!"

A light screen that no one else could see appeared in front of Li Zhao, with a lot of props listed on it.

Qingluan looked up at the shared light screen and saw that the item Li Zhao had chosen was a round pink pill!

But the moment she saw the name and effect of the pill, Qingluan's eyes bulged out: "Xi, Xizi Heart Pill?!"

Xizi Pengxin Pills, 300 points per pill, effect: makes you as healthy as water grass for three consecutive days, and your illness as severe as Xizi Pengxin, which makes you extremely lovable!

Qing Luan was shocked: "Isn't this the elixir that the concubines use to pretend to be weak and win the emperor's favor?!"

"Zhao Zhao, you, you, you want to use this thing on General Li Ji?!"

Qingluan was dumbfounded, the bird's entire expression tore apart.

General Li Ji, who was not far away, suddenly felt a chill on his back and sneezed loudly: "A-choo——"

He put down his spear, looking a little bewildered: "Why did you sneeze? Have you been practicing martial arts too much recently?"

While Li Ji was at a loss, Li Zhao in Shanglin Garden was playing with daylilies with a smile and pressed the buy button.

"Xizi Heart Pill, target: Li Ji, Duke of England."

The pink pill disappeared from the system grid in a flash and turned into a stream of light and entered Li Ji's body.

When he picked up the spear again and tried to swing it, he was staggered by the heavy spear.

With a clang, the spear slipped out of his hand, and Li Ji fell to the ground along with the spear, raising a cloud of dust.

Li Ji was stunned: "???!!!"

what happened? !

Why is he suddenly unable to hold this big spear? !
